I lost my (rented) cell phone on the subway while in Japan. It ended up at the lost and found, so I just had to go out and recover it, but I was real worried for a while. Getting that back saved me a _lot_ of money.
Capital punishment may be just in some cases, but the cost of applying it to someone who is innocent is incredibly high. I don't think there's a justice system in the world accurate / cautious enough to support it.
